What its rules say about promotion

Rule 7: No spam.
Spammers and clickbaiters will be swiftly removed. This includes subreddit self-promotion. Please use /r/promoteareddit, /r/promotereddit or /r/newreddits to advertise the sub you just made.
All 9 rules of r/findareddit
  1. Rule 1: Be nice.
    **Don't be a jerk or be deliberately unhelpful.** This applies to everyone. Derogatory / insulting comments and posts and comments that are unhelpful are subject to removal.
  2. Rule 2: Post must be looking for a subreddit.
    **You must post a clear, easy to understand request for a subreddit.** There are certain technical exceptions to this that will arise on a case-by-case basis but if your post is asking for anything other than a subreddit, or if the request is very confusing or unclear, it may be removed.
  3. Rule 3: No NSFW posts.
    **NSFW posts are not allowed** unless you have made a request in r/NSFW411 and they were unable to answer your question. If this is the case, please let us know in the modmail. Moderators will remove NSFW posts at their discretion.
  4. Rule 4: No posting personal information.
    Absolutely **no posting of personal information** or requests for personal information of anyone else, including name, location and any other personally-identifiable information
  5. Rule 5: Don't tell users to "just Google it".
    **Do not suggest only that the user should use search engines.** Our users are here for our help, not sarcastic responses that they should do it themselves. If you have nothing else to say other than to check a search engine, please refrain from commenting and leave the thread to others to assist with.
  6. Rule 6: No joke / troll / irrelevant suggestions.
    **Absolutely no joke or troll suggestions and / or posts.** Those that suggest sarcastic, off-topic, trolling or purely incorrect subreddits to those that are genuinely seeking help, or those that make joking / trolling posts may be temporarily banned without warning. This especially includes posts such as "a subreddit to find subreddits". An example of a joke suggestion would be a response suggesting /r/atheism to a user requesting Christian subreddits.
  7. Rule 7: No spam.
    Spammers and clickbaiters will be swiftly removed. This includes subreddit self-promotion. Please use /r/promoteareddit, /r/promotereddit or /r/newreddits to advertise the sub you just made.
  8. Rule 8: No requests for illegal or prohibited stuff that breaks the Reddit Content Policy.
    It is against Reddit's Content Policy to: - Request or provide methods to exchange or purchase illegal or prohibited goods or services. - Seek or encourage methods to commit a crime or cause harm to others. - Suggest or participate in any way, shape or form in vote manipulation (ex. by asking for karma or for votes in an online contest). - Suggest or participate in targeted harassment, cyber-bullying, callouts, doxxing and brigading against individual people and communities both on and outside
  9. Rule 9: No negative posts about other subreddits, their mods or users, and about being banned.
    Any posts which speak negatively of other subreddits, their modteams and/or userbase, including complaints about being banned or muted, are not allowed here, regardless of the circumstances. Same applies to requests for subreddits which allow such content, or requests for where to report the aforementioned.

What the written rules don't show

  • Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
  • Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
  • The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
